As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I heartily recommend Dar Horn's largely autobiographical work entitled "Dar's Story." There are some great photographs and some nice anecdotes from this brave and dedicated public servant. Dar is a great guy and a very good writer. Get this at once!

Kupczak's book Destined for Liberty is an excellent book to know more behind Wojtyla's thought. The book starts with an introduction from Michael Novak which ends with a Polish prayer to JPII: " May he live a hundred years".

The book analyzes Wojtyla's thought by first examining his early writings and methodology. In the latter sections he talks about his habilitation thesis and his Lublin Lectrues. In the methodology section he explains his mix of phenomenology with Thomistic thought and does an excellent section that highlights some of the critiques of Wojtyla at the time Wojtyla published and explained his work, The Acting Person.

After Kupczak examines Wojtyla's writings and method he concentrates on Wojtyla's thought on consciousness and efficacy as well as transcedence and intergration. The latter crucial to understanding Wojtyla's thought.

Great book! Read it.

This is a great code book! It has tons of codes, all different. The only down side is that some of the codes are easy to break, but even those codes are still fun. Because a lot of the codes are either extremely creative or hard to break, this book is really worth your money! The codes are explained well, so they are easy to understand, though some you have to think about more than others. It's really fun to write secret messages to your friends! The hardest code in this book is called the Vigenere square and keyboard. It's my favorite. This book also has some interesting facts worked into it and more! I highly recommend this book!

One of the hardest things when you're consulting to organisations on change and change management is to open yourself fully to the possibility that you don't have the answers to your clients' pressing questions;nor do you have satisfactory answers to a lot of your own pressing questions,questions about values, core beliefs,and conflicts that burn away at the back of your consciousness.As consultants we tend to focus on helping others to change,not on the process by which we are changing too, growing and learning from our experience.Indeed,the Business and Management bookshelves are full to overflowing with titles about change and change management which give no account whatever of the real struggles of the authors to make sense of their own learning in the midst of complex change.It seems that Chris Argyris was right when he asserted that smart people such as consultants can be the most resistant to learning.

In his Diary of a change agent,Tony Page addresses this issue as his central concern.The author invites us to witness his own reflective learning during a year of consulting with clients on change issues.He discloses,often with remarkable and self-effacing candour,the private dilemmas,conflicts,and revelations he experiences as he engages with his clients and their needs.As one reads these accounts,one gets a strong sense of being in the confidence of a true master of both the craft of consulting and the practise area of organisational change.

Here are just some of the gifts this book offers to readers who want to become better agents of change:

-a practical method for enhancing and accelerating reflexive learning
-a rich expression of a particular way of being with clients which is powerful because it is authentic(shades of Peter Block's early work here)
-a theory about how organisations change which recognises the new thinking on complexity and self-organising systems.

But in the end the most striking and most memorable thing about this book-and probably the most compelling reason to get it-is the diary method and the author's willingness to let the reader in to his stream of reflection and inquiry about the work of an organisation change consultant.Tony Page takes to heart Gandhi's wisdom:you have to work to be the change you want to see in the world.A book to treasure and gift to friends.

One of the ideas I gleaned from this text is that good design--I mean truly splendid arrangement of color and line and content and light and dark and positive and negative and the oftentimes unconscious decisions that go into the *creation* of such (where does inpiration come from, anyway? off topic)--simply can't succeed or exist or grow as a statement of mathematics.

Hmm. What I mean to say is that Spocking the web experience for Kirks who don't view, say, the Web, as a psychological and/or mathematical model is to be--at the very least--incomplete. And that's not so bad. And also otherwise disregarding design via passion via inspiration in favor of GUI-by-psychologist and markup-language-by-programmer is, uh, a real bummer. I mean, to measure a designers work by parameters like user comprehension isn't invalid at all, just really, really deflating.

Opinion.

I am biased because I am the author of this book. This is the first novel I ever wrote. I started writing this book in the late 1970s when I went to Los Angeles to be a filmmaker. This book started out as an idea for a screenplay, but I think it really works as a novel. I hope you like it.

This Dearborn publishing edition is a must-have resource book for any Life & Health insurance professional.
